A violent theft in broad daylight.
A 92-year-old woman was the victim of extortion by at least two suspects at her home in Brunoy, Saturday March 23.
Valuable items, including jewelry, were stolen.
An investigation was opened and entrusted to the SIPJ (Departmental Judicial Police Service) of Essonne.
The events occurred around 4 p.m.
The retiree was then alone in her house on avenue des Peupliers, a residential area of Brunoy.
At the same time, his direct neighbor hears noises coming from the house.
He decides to go see: his 92-year-old neighbor is injured on the ground and says she was the victim of a violent burglary.
The police from Val d'Yerres - Val de Seine arrive just after.
Collar torn off
According to the victim's testimony, two men entered her home.
They would have gone through the garden, taking advantage of a window left open to enter the house.
Then, the duo allegedly hit the nonagenarian in the face and snatched her golden necklace.
The two men then allegedly began a tour of the home to seize valuable objects.
But quickly, the victim was able to put the perpetrators to flight thanks to a sound alert button...
These are the first elements on which the SIPJ 91 police officers will work. An investigation for “confinement and extortion in meetings” has been opened.
The total damage is currently being assessed.
Just like the exact number of perpetrators on the run: a third suspect, keeping watch in the avenue, would also have participated in the misdeed.
